Amina Cheikh -...و أشياء مملة أخرى


Amina Chikh et sa collection de nouvelles publiée en 2016 chez Hibr
Les 10 nouvelles de "...و أشياء مملة أخرى" explorent la perte d'un être cher, la perte de soi. Elle capture la lumière et l'ombre qu'amènent ces évènements souvent inéluctables, dans un style intime, introspectif, sans violence, colère ou amertume.

Amina Chikh a remporté le prix Ali Maachi en 2008 avec son roman "أسفل الحب" (Apic éditions)
"تجلس كعادتها تقلّب رواية ما. عيناها تتبعان الحرف دون أن تقتنص أيّ معنى, تماما كحياتها"
أمينة شيخ "...و أشياء مملة أخرى"


If you don't know Amina Chikh you should Amina Chikh won the Ali Maachi prize in 2008 with her novel "أسفل الحب".

 She published a collection of 10 short stories last year "...و أشياء مملة أخرى" ("...and other tiresome things") with Hibr editions in which she explores loss - the loss of a loved one, the loss of oneself. She captures a place between light and darkness that these events, often inescapable, lead to.

A beautiful introspective collection written with no anger, bitterness or violence.
